Munich, on-site · Full-time · Start: ASAP
Bayshore builds a multi-agent compliance automation platform for enterprises. Our AI agents gather evidence, coordinate stakeholders, and drive complex reviews from intake to an auditable decision. At the core sits our legal reasoning engine, which turns legal rules and company policies into traceable, executable logic.
We work with some of the world's largest organizations, including DAX-listed and Fortune 500 companies. We're backed by Earlybird, one of Europe's leading inception funds, and are assembling an exceptional team to shape how regulated enterprises adopt AI at scale.
We are a software company, not a law firm. 15 people across engineering, legal, and commercial, with backgrounds from Germany, Colombia, India, and Turkey. Before Bayshore, we gained work experience at RobCo, Google, BCG, and Freshfields. We work from a large loft office in Munich, close to the main station, where we also host our own events for the tech and legal tech community.
This role is for lawyers who want something more innovative: a more relevant legal profession in an AI-driven world. As a (Senior) Associate, Legal AI, you keep your legal training and add AI, product, consulting, and entrepreneurship to it. You'll work with executives at some of the world's largest companies from day one, and within weeks you own customers and projects yourself.
You don't need a technical background, but you need to understand technology and be curious how far it can go. Programming is something you'll learn at Bayshore.

Competitive salary
A high-performance team that takes care of each other
High standards. We expect exceptional commitment and take responsibility for results: we stay on a project until the customer is satisfied.
No hero culture. Sick is sick, vacation is vacation. Nobody should work on a laptop during time off. Customers and projects have cover, knowledge is shared, and colleagues step in for each other.
Office-first. We work together in Munich and expect you to live here. Home office exists for sensible flexibility (a repair appointment, feeling slightly under the weather) but is not the default.
Close team. We work, eat, and cook together, and regularly do things like surfing, padel, or high ropes courses. We also go on offsites together.
Don't take our word for it. Ask Maria or Melanie what working at Bayshore is actually like. We'll gladly connect you.
Intro call (about 20 min): getting to know each other, the role, expectations, availability, and salary expectations, so we both avoid unnecessary interviews
Conversation with Paul, Co-Founder and Chief Legal Engineering Officer
Take-home challenge: you receive a legal ruleset with an introduction, structure it logically, and translate it into machine-readable rules
On-site interview in Munich: technical review of your challenge, plus a customer role play with preparation time
Offer, typically within about a week of the final interview
